Let's Not Make A Deal


Monte Hall: Ok, Little Bo Peep, you can keep your civil liberties, or you trade them for what's behind door 641A.

Little Bo Peep: That's a tough choice Monte, you know, one time a few years ago, al-Queda managed to kill almost as many people as handgun violence claims every year.

Monte Hall: You want to be safe, don't you? As Pat Roberts says, those civil liberties won't do you any good when you're dead.

Little Bo Peep: I'll take the door!

Monte Hall: Jay Stewart, tell her what she's won.

Jay Stewart: Behind door number 641A, located in the AT&T building at 611 Folsom Street in San Francisco in cabinet position 060903.01 is a Narus STA 6400, which allows the NSA to spy on you and yours. Congratulations Little Bo Peep.

Monte Hall: Wow. It's no wonder the Bush administration sought to have the lawsuit that held this information quashed.

Jay Stewart: That's right Monte, and I guess that gag order in the case is no longer worth the paper it's printed on.

Little Bo Peep: I think I fucked up, Monte.

Monte Hall: You certainly did, Little Bo Peep. You certainly did.
